IF Threadless broaden their horizons... what would you like to see?

There are countless sites out there that offer people to design and sell their own shirts as well as mug, mousepads, you name it. Cafepress being right up there.

I see some comments about they love the design...but not on a shirt. What are your opinions about threadless broadening their products? Would you buy stickers, mugs, beanies, etc?

-edit- i was talking to someone earlier about people thinking threadless was actually doing this... they arent... im just saying IF they did other stuff, what would you like to see?

I'd buy hoodies. both zip-up and pullover.

tesko on Nov 11 '05 at 12:14pm

slipmats would be schweet, but in all honesty I dont think they have any plans do sell anything but shirts

OlliRudi on Nov 11 '05 at 12:17pm

Condoms.

hangoverblack on Nov 11 '05 at 12:18pm

ha!

jackanapes on Nov 11 '05 at 1:09pm

condoms. right on! also, diaphragms.

NakedNoMore on Nov 11 '05 at 1:12pm

cavas bags would be cool

Threadless should have (art movement) loves Threadless type comps. For example: Modernism <3's Threadless or Surrealism <3's Threadless

(famous artist) Loves Threadless.
The designs would have to be created in a similar style relating to the famous artist.

cars and guitars...

i really wish threadless still did prints... i liked some of the prints they did. i also especially wish they still made hoodies. especially in these winter months :-(

Rock Deputy on Nov 11 '05 at 2:19pm

Threadless did make hoodies at one time... they didn't sell well enough.

TFMdesign on Nov 11 '05 at 2:21pm

i wouldnt mind buying a knit beanie.

hangoverblack on Nov 11 '05 at 2:28pm

now that threadless is crazy popular... and this time of year... hoodies and beanies would sell like mad. Hell Id even buy the same design again.

R to the Sizzle on Nov 11 '05 at 2:41pm

ties.

TFMdesign on Nov 11 '05 at 2:42pm

id love to buy pandamonium on a heather grey hoodie

PinkSabbath on Nov 11 '05 at 2:45pm

R to the Sizzle.... head over to nakedandangry.com for ties

adhdmohit on Nov 11 '05 at 2:47pm

hoodies and zip ups would be awsome

hangoverblack on Nov 11 '05 at 2:58pm

sweet... you can submit tie patterns?!?

AssemblyLineHuman on Nov 11 '05 at 2:58pm

Yes, you can submit tie patterns.

hangoverblack on Nov 11 '05 at 10:01pm

i just had an idea
panties and boxers
think of all the poop and wiener jokes!!

gamejunkie on Nov 12 '05 at 3:06am

Meh, I dunno - I kinda like the idea of just having t-shirts. Keeps things simple.

Pruven on Nov 12 '05 at 4:36am

finally a black guy who wears threadless..hi how you doing...
im the residential wigger according to some around here.
nice to meet you.

oh and they should start doing some hoodys again..its almost winter time again in chicago and its fucking cold man.

peas

ninjaincognito on Nov 12 '05 at 6:28am

earmuffs!
and scarves? although that'd be interesting.

Scaper-X on Nov 12 '05 at 6:54am

Having recently read the FAQ again, noticed that the Jakes are fond of posters. Being a poster afficianado myself, I'd not mind if Threadless offered poster design competitions as well.

That and the tie idea suggested early is nifty. And hats.

kidderliverpool on Nov 12 '05 at 8:35am

Posters would be really great...and hoodies.

nightsquire on Nov 12 '05 at 9:19am

PINS PLEASE!

whylime on Nov 12 '05 at 10:27am

well I'm a big fan of the long sleeve t myself (always cold) especially at this time of year. I just bought a few shirts so now I'm trying to figure out how many layers I can put around them so I can wear them and not die of hypothermia

whylime on Nov 12 '05 at 10:27am

pins are good too

Socheata on Nov 12 '05 at 10:46am

xiv mentioned fabric patches and I'd love Threadless to start up on that. I can already imagine what my wall would look like with the numerous design patches that I'd be purchasing.

hangoverblack on Nov 12 '05 at 10:56am

Crap... I didn't even think about half this stuff. Id go broke if they offered patches. But I like that scarf idea the best.

Gamejunkie talks about keeping it simple. Yeah, Im thinking to just start a separate site. Same company. Look down at the bottom of the page and you'll see "a skinniCorp company." You'll see the same thing on "NakedandAngry.com."

hangoverblack on Nov 13 '05 at 12:34am

to seriously get threadless to consider "broadening their horizons" we need more input...

yumnoodle on Nov 13 '05 at 12:49am

I want them to make stickers of the designs!
Maybe they could include a sticker with the shirt you bought or maybe you can have a choice of either buying a shirt or sticker !
Justa thought!

BuriedAlive on Nov 13 '05 at 12:57am

5 colors

yumnoodle on Nov 13 '05 at 1:01am

word. (BuriedAlive)

hangoverblack on Nov 13 '05 at 12:57pm

stickers with the shirts would be sweet.

5 colors... i think that might be too expensive. although seeing how people manage with 4, i would like to see what can be done with 5?

letsbeheros on Nov 13 '05 at 1:00pm

zip-up hoodies. or toothbrushes.

glamour on Nov 13 '05 at 1:03pm

hoodies and shirts are all i need.

Scaper-X on Nov 13 '05 at 1:04pm

Toothbrushes? That'd be funky.

littlem on Nov 13 '05 at 1:06pm

boxers for boys
and
lowrise boxers for girls
:)

and tattoooooooooooooooos

BuriedAlive on Nov 13 '05 at 1:10pm

toothbrushes! and purses.

Stubby42 on Nov 13 '05 at 1:13pm

I'd like to see threadless become a real clothing line, but I'm not sure how that would work. I'd like to see threadless Jeans, or shorts or stuff like that however making them is so much more complecated and the design system would be harder.

The designer would have to do designs of how it should look, patterns and possibly mock ups.

But if threadless does that it cant appeal to designers because most lack the skills to do it, they'd have to target textiles and fashion students primerally.

Threadless trainers would be good, it's very possible to do as well:

if you click on shoes you can see some of David Choes work, they were sold through upper playground.

My sister goes to Parson's in New York, and the Threadless guys came and spoke at her school. She told me that they had thought about a full fashion line but knew nothing about it. That's how Naked & Angry came about; it's the happy medium.

hangoverblack on Nov 13 '05 at 6:19pm

A full clothing line may be complicated. I dont know howd they do jeans. Or shoes.

Im pretty much thinking a similar setup to CafePress would work well. Although, I dont know if Threadless is popular enough to put that kind of time and money into something like that.

Id really just like to see winter wear. Hoodies, zips, longsleeves. Stuff like that. Anything that doesnt make the current process more difficult. Selling clothes is one thing. But these guys have to deal with a submission process and voting process.

Note: I would buy a Threadless toothbrush in a heartbeat.
